A total of 285 individuals in the New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost have been inducted as officers to join the workforce of the Church.
The newly ordained officers, comprising 74 Elders, 93 Deacons, and 118 Deaconesses, were selected from the various districts within the Area.
The service, which was officiated by Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, the Area Head, with assistance from the Area pastorate, took place on Friday, June 28, 2024, at the Ebenezer Assembly auditorium in F-Line.
Guiding the ordinands in making a public declaration of the acceptance to serve as officers of the Church, Prophet Tetteh Doku charged them not to slack in their service to God and the Church. He reminded them that being an officer is a responsibility and a service.
The Area Head also admonished the newly-appointed officers to show respect to the senior officers and not to see themselves as equal to them in status.
“Being ordained as an elder, deacon or deaconess does not automatically place you on the same level as those who have been in the role for a longer period of time. It is important to show the needed respect and honour to the more experienced officers,” he advised.
In attendance at the service were Mrs. Victoria Tetteh Doku (Wife of the Area Head), and the spouses of the Area pastorate.
